kgwilson Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 It will be interesting to find out what the problem is. I wonder why that information has not been released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 Something to do with props falling off the particular engine they use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 https://www.flyingmag.com/continental-engine-issue-drives-grounding-of-cirrus-sr22s-other-aircraft/ "call for a specific inspection of the crankshaft counterweight retaining ring within 5 hours for those new or rebuilt engines with less than 200 hours in operation since installation" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 Yes.. Would expect somthing to do with the crankshaft resulting in vibration (and ultimate failure), but the also have shaken their props off: (the same incident): https://forums.flyer.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=122713 And there are more of the same incident.. I guess I should check outside the forums! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
